Pros and cons of emerging technology in our food system
Emerging technologies for food systems, however optimistic, all have some potential negative trade-offs. This is pointed out in a new international study in which WUR also participated. “We have to find the best way to achieve all Sustainable Development Goals at the same time.”
Humanity faces the grand challenge of reconfiguring food systems to deliver healthy diets that are accessible to all people while safeguarding planetary health. However, producing more and healthier food more sustainably will not, on its own, ensure human well-being. Other crucial social and environmental challenges must also be addressed such as reducing poverty, providing education and healthcare for all, and conserving biodiversity.
